Milwaukee Brewers: The Top 8 Prospects in the Farm System

This season, the Milwaukee Brewers have proven to be one of the most talented and deep teams in baseball.

However, even with all the optimism in Milwaukee, there are certainly concerns for the future of the team, particularly with the future of players like Prince Fielder in question.

While the Brewers commonly find their talent through free agency, their farm system is highly underrated, and there are many promising prospects that are in their farm system that may step up and be a major part of the Brewers’ future.

Another pitching prospect for the Brewers, Scarpetta was selected by the Brewers in the 2007 draft and currently plays for the Huntsville Stars. His father Dan was also drafted by the Brewers, and pitched for the team from 1982-89.

In 2009, Scarpetta was seen as one of the top-five pitching prospects in the farm system, and he continues to improve year after year.

Although he plays for the lower-level farm team in Brevard County, Kjeldgaard has had a fantastic year, hitting a team-leading 17 home runs and winning Player of the Week for his league for three-consecutive weeks.

He was originally drafted by the Brewers in the 34th round in 2005, but he has improved ever since. Although in a lower-level league now, he has a very good chance of moving up to Double-A next year.
